The German chocolate cake is a classic American dessert consisting of a rich chocolate cake and a sweet coconut pecan frosting. Despite its name, the recipe for the cake originated in the United States, rather than Germany. The rich chocolate cake pairs perfectly with the sweet and nutty coconut pecan frosting. While typically served as a dessert, this cake is versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of day. It can be dressed up with additional toppings and decorations to make it a show-stopping dessert for a special occasion, or sliced and served with a cup of coffee for a mid-afternoon treat.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and flour.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, water, vegetable oil and eggs.
4.	Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium for 2 minutes until smooth.
5.	Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 33 to 38 minutes until the cake layers are set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6.	Remove from oven and cool completely.
7.	Serve and enjoy!
